1st Snow:(

Moscow Zoopark

Last weekend Daniel and Sonja were away so we took Timothy and Karina to the Zoo. All our kids and Gudrun have been to the Zoo before on school trip, but this was the first time I was there and i have to say i was pretty impressed, it's a nice zoo.

Autumn is Here

This is the tree right outside our window, (behind the tree) in the fall it turns redish. That Gudrun standing behind the car she has just returned from the supermarket and is waiting for me to help her carry the bags inside.

Rollerblading in Victory Park

A few week back, on one of the last nice, sunny and warm weekends we went to Victory Park. The kids wanted to go as we had not been this summer, and as every other time we had been there, people were on rollerblades and skateboards, our kids want to bring their rollerblades. So they all scooted around on their rollerblades for a while.

Our Karina is 9 today

Tombstone & Boothill

I was in the US a few week back and got a chance to go visit some friends in Arizona. They live near the town of Tombstone and it's graveyard Boothill made famous in many old western movies but mostly because of Wyatt Earp and the gun fight at the OK corral. I love westerns growing up so it was fun for me to be in Tombstone.

Travelling

I had to do a lot of travelling this summer and thought I would show you a few photos from my travels

In June while in Ulan Ude I got to travel with some friends to a village about 160kms to the east.

This was taken in the city of Kyzyl in southern Siberia as you will see from the sign they consider this to be the "Centre of Asia". I was out there visiting some friends in June. To get there we had to drive over a mountian pass in the Sayan Mountians and according to what I can make out the pass reached almost 1800m above sea level. I also made one other trip but have no photos from it.
